I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar's worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

Jeremy Renner

One of the things I keep coming back to in my writing is that society doesn't work on this mirror principle, you don't have an exact replica on the left of what you have on the right. It just doesn't work that way.

Thomas Frank

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.

Arnold H. Glasow

One may smile, and smile, and be a villain. Hamlet

William Shakespeare

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.

Anton Chekhov

I feel comfortable around every driver out there and each driver is in charge of their own car, but you feel very secure racing the competition out there.

Kurt Busch

I never thought I should live to grow blasé about the sound of gunfire, but so I have

George Orwell

All I can control is myself and just keep having a positive attitude.

Rose Namajunas

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

Stephen Covey

Those services which the community will most readily pay for it is most disagreeable to render. You are paid for being something less than a man.

Henry David Thoreau

For Satan finds some mischief stillFor idle hands to do.

Isaac Watts, Divine Songs. Song

I think what actually works best is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.
